The Diophantine equation x^n+y^n=z^n. The assertion that this equation has no nontrivial solutions for n>2 has a long and fascinating history and is known as Fermat's last ...

The W-polynomials obtained by setting p(x)=3x and q(x)=-2 in the Lucas polynomial sequence. The first few Fermat polynomials are F_1(x) = 1 (1) F_2(x) = 3x (2) F_3(x) = ...

The probability that two events will both happen is hk, where h is the probability that the first event will happen, and k is the probability that the second event will ...

In a given acute triangle DeltaABC, locate a point whose distances from A, B, and C have the smallest possible sum. The solution is the point from which each side subtends an ...

The area of a rational right triangle cannot be a square number. This statement is equivalent to "a congruum cannot be a square number."

The inverse curve of Fermat's spiral with the origin taken as the inversion center is the lituus.

A distribution which arises in the study of half-integer spin particles in physics, P(k)=(k^s)/(e^(k-mu)+1). (1) Its integral is given by int_0^infty(k^sdk)/(e^(k-mu)+1) = ...

Ferrari's identity is the algebraic identity

An alternative name for an associated Legendre polynomial.

The Feuerbach point X_(11) (center of the Feuerbach hyperbola) lies on the nine-point circle. The Feuerbach antipode is the antipode of this point on nine-point circle. It ...
